TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

u“ M; Sketches of Agriculture in the Low Countries, of- fered by.J. B. Esgq. unconnected with any extrane- ous matter, will be very acceptable.

A. Z. is under constderation. He deserves our best thanks. The article from Amesbury,(containing Obser- vations on a Practical Farmer's defence of Political Dis- quisitions), came too late for insertion this month, but Shall appear in our next. We request this writer(S.) to furnish us with a sketch of the practice of Some of his peighbouring farmers; and all our correspondents most earnestly to favour us with(heir communications early in the month.;

It was the Simplicity and evident disinterestedness of the account of a drainage, with the assistance of Mr. Elking- toy, that induced'our Reviewer to ask the question of Mr. Carpenter, p. 349. We fear the objection he mentions to have been already made, will be repeated in this instance, we, however, quote for his future convenience, the article alluded to:

No. 12,“ Draining.=-To the person who Shall Tay be- fore the Board, the most Satisfactory account of one of Mr. Elkington's Drainages--/he Silver medal.

“ The Soil and state of the land before Draining, the me- thod and expense of the improvement, with a plan, and the resuit of the operation, to be produced on or before the Second Tuesday in December, 1805.

« The Same premium for 1805.

No. 13, Otters the gold medal, for the greatest drainage in any method," according to the Soil..

Premiums offered by the Board of Agriculture, in 1805.

It we understand right, Mr. Carpenter states the im- provement of the land he underdrained, to be equal to the difference between eight shillings and forty shillings per acre, the previous and subsequent value, as stated by the Commissioners of the[nclogures.

We believe he also States thie expense of the Turrp:fy Powder, which has been 80 Successful, at from three and Stx pence to ten Shillings per acre on an average, through- ont the kingdom; in places favourable to the ingredients, it 1s of eourse cheaper.

Mr. Carpenter will perceive a liberty taken with his work, with which we couceive his philanthrophy will not be displeased.
